At this time of the year when peddlers
are beginning to swarm throughout the
Valley it might be well If our merchants
were to take prompt measures in the dircc-
tion of their determination. The following
act applying to pcidlers may not be unin-
leresting to them in this respect.
''No person shall be licensed as bawker
or peddler or petty chapman within this
State but such only as is a citizen Of the
United States and who from loss of limb or
other other bodily infrmity shall be dis
abled from procuring livelihood by labor,
which disability shall be proven by certii-
cate or certificates from two physicians of
respectable character under oath, residing
in the county where the application for ii.
cense is made.
mo person shall be licensed as hawker
or peddler unless he shall have resided al
least one year in the county in which such
application shall be made, is unable to pro
cure livelihood at his trade, if he have
any, or by bodily labor"
